ATLANTA – NC State women’s basketball head coach Wes Moore earned well-deserved national recognition as the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) named him its 2021 United States Marine Corps/WBCA NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year.
It marks Moore’s first time winning the award, which was decided on in a vote from his colleagues across the country. He will receive the Pat Summitt Trophy, named for the late legendary Tennessee coach and awarded annually to the national coaches of the year in each of the WBCA’s six membership divisions.
“I appreciate this special honor because it carries the WBCA name and represents all the great coaches that I respect so much,” said Moore.
